He arrives at Castle Cousland in Highever with Lady Landra and Iona, and is scheduled to ride off to battle with Teyrn Bryce Cousland as his Second. After conversing with him in the Atrium, he can be found in the Study.

If the noble is male warrior, Dairren will mention the two sparred in the past, the noble winning easily. If the noble is female he will compliment her on her beauty.

Should the player strike up a conversation, several opportunities to compliment or otherwise flirt with him will come up regardless of the player character's gender. If the player takes advantage of at least two of these (including any previous opportunities that might have occurred in the stairway), then the player will gain a new dialogue option to suggest that he come back to the player's room that night.
